China Sees Highest Quality at Lowest Prices in Hong Kong: Retail

Pan Jingdan traveled more than 40 miles to shop in Hong Kong during China’s Golden Week holiday. Unlike the thousands of Chinese tourists who lined up outside luxury goods stores, she stuffed her bags with shampoo, cosmetics and Unilever’s Dove shower gel.

“It’s so much cheaper here, especially if you buy at the local pharmacies,” said Pan, a 23-year-old property agent from the southern Chinese city of Dongguan who regularly visits Hong Kong’s Sheung Shui district. “The quality is also better. China is a country full of fakes.”
